Golf game recommendations requested

Golf is the only sport I got into through playing in computer game form, but games seem to be a little thin on the ground right now. The most recent I can find (as download anyway) is Tiger Woods 2008. Does anyone know if this is a good iteration, or are there other games worth looking at?

I fear there is little to choose from. The PC versions of the Tiger Woods games are meant to be rather poor in comparison to their console equivalents so I wouldn't look there. Instead it seems that there has been a move towards free to play stuff with both Tiger Woods Online and WGT. Probably worth giving both of those a try.

I played it years ago (online, too) and it was great fun, quirky. I enjoy the way that you have to move to your ball after you've hit it. Stopped being developed ages ago, though, as far as I can tell.

Oh, yes, the caddys are alcoholic Roosevelts (I think) that are sat on floating stools, and your head can be a teapot.

edit: I just downloaded it again and it's brilliant fun. We should get a MP game going if anyone else fancies it.

Would love a good golf game with a course designer. Whatever happened to those?

"You go up to a man, and you say, "How are things going, Joe?" and he says, "Oh fine, fine — couldn't be better." And you look into his eyes, and you see things really couldn't be much worse. When you get right down to it, everybody's having a perfectly lousy time of it, and I mean everybody. And the hell of it is, nothing seems to help much." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Mr. Austin, you have made far too many <i>amazing</i> game prototypes, and nowhere near enough finished releases (that can then be sold for the monies). You cannot have every icecream flavour at once! Life only affords you two scoops of time.
